    Because “Jewish leadership” isn’t the same thing as “all Jews”.

    It wasn’t back then, and it isn’t now.

    Implying that they are is exactly the reason why we are somehow not allowed to criticise the STATE of Israel without being labeled an anti-semite.

    The Jews didn’t hand over Jesus. A HANDFUL of Jewish state leaders did.

    The Jews aren’t committing active genocide in Gaza as we speak. A handful of Israeli state leaders are, and using their faith to justify it.

      This. Someone who had amassed enough of a following while calling out authority figures for hypocrisy, greed, and corruption is going to make some very particular enemies.
